Happy Birthday Jaun

اب تو ہر بات یاد رہتی ہے
غالباً میں کسی کو بھول گیا
جون ایلیا

اردو میں شاعروں کی کوئی کمی نہیں، ایسے حالات میں کسی ایسے شاعر کا اپنا الگ مقام بنا لینا حیران کن ہے جس کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ ان کی زندگی کے 60ویں برس سے پہلے شائع نہیں ہو سکا۔
لیکن دیکھا جائے تو یہ بات اتنی حیران کن بھی نہیں، کیوں کہ جون ایلیا ایک ایسے منفرد اور یگانہ شاعر ہیں جس کا انداز نہ تو پہلے گزرنے والے کسی شاعر سے ملتا ہے اور نہ ہی بعد میں آنے والا کوئی شاعر ان کے لہجے کی تقلید کر سکا۔ وہ اپنے سلسلے کے آپ ہی موجد اور آپ ہی خاتم ہیں۔
جون کی انفرادیت یہ ہے کہ وہ عشق و محبت کے موضوعات کو اردو غزل میں دوبارہ لے آئے۔ غزل کا روایتی مطلب بے شک ’عورتوں سے باتیں کرنا‘ ہو، لیکن عالمی تحاریک، ترقی پسندی، جدیدیت، وجودیت اور کئی طرح کے ازموں کے زیرِ اثر جون ایلیا کی نسل کے بیشتر شاعروں کے ہاں ذات و کائنات کے دوسرے مسائل حاوی ہو گئے۔

Happy Birthday Jaun

Now, I remember everything.
Probably I forgot someone
Jon Elia

There is no shortage of poets in Urdu, in such conditions, it is surprised to make a different place of such a poet whose first the collection could not be posted before the 60th year of their life.
But it is not the same thing that it is not so surprised, because Jon Elia is such a unique and a poet, which is not the style of a poet, nor a poet who is going to come later. Could. He is the only inventor of his craze and you are the khatam.
The Ạnfrạdy̰t of the June is that he brought the topics of love and love again in urdu ghazal. The traditional meaning of the ghazal is ' to talk to women, but the global suppressing, development of development, development, wjwdy̰t and many kind of ạzmwں The other problems of the people of the world have been covered with many of the poets of the world.

یاد تو ہوں گی وہ باتیں تجھے اب بھی لیکن
شیلف میں رکھی ہوئی بند کتابوں کی طرح
کون جانے کہ نئے سال میں تو کس کو پڑھے
تیرا معیار بدلتا ہے نصابوں کی طرح
پروین شاکر


Happy New Year
 
تمہاری یاد کے جب زخم بھرنے لگتے ہیں
کسی بہانے تمہیں یاد کرنے لگتے ہیں
ہر اجنبی ہمیں محرم دکھائی دیتا ہے
جو اب بھی تیرے گلی سے گزرنے لگتے ہیں

بول، کہ لب آزاد ہیں تیرے
بول، زباں اب تک تیری ہے
تیرا ستواں جسم ہے تیرا
بول کہ جاں اب تک تیری ہے
دیکھ کہ آہن گر کی دکاں میں
تند ہیں شعلے، سرخ ہے آہن
کھلنے لگے قفلوں کے دہانے
پھیلا ہر اک زنجیر کا دامن
بول، یہ تھوڑا وقت بہت ہے
جسم و زباں کی موت سےپہلے
بول، کہ سچ زندہ ہے اب تک
بول، جو کچھ کہنا ہے کہہ لے!

Death anniversary of Baqi Siddiqui

داغ دل ہم کو یاد آنے لگے
لوگ اپنے دیئے جلانے لگے

کچھ نہ پا کر بھی مطمئن ہیں ہم
عشق میں ہاتھ کیا خزانے لگے

یہی رستہ ہے اب یہی منزل
اب یہیں دل کسی بہانے لگے

خود فریبی سی خود فریبی ہے
پاس کے ڈھول بھی سہانے لگے

اب تو ہوتا ہے ہر قدم پہ گماں
ہم یہ کیسا قدم اٹھانے لگے

اس بدلتے ہوئے زمانے میں
تیرے قصے بھی کچھ پرانے لگے

رخ بدلنے لگا فسانے کا
لوگ محفل سے اٹھ کے جانے لگے

ایک پل میں وہاں سے ہم اٹھے
بیٹھنے میں جہاں زمانے لگے

شام کا وقت ہو گیا باقیؔ
بستیوں سے شرار آنے لگے
 
Happy Birthday Faraz

Ahmad Faraz with Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Iftikhar Arif in 1980's

یہ کیا کہ سب سے بیاں دل کی حالتیں کرنی
فرازؔ تجھ کو نہ آئیں محبتیں کرنی
کبھی فرازؔ نئے موسموں میں رو دینا
کبھی تلاش پرانی رفاقتیں کرنی
